    Is this ASUS motherboard capable of using more than 137G EIDE HD? The only numbers I can find are:
    AS99127F
    ASUSTEK 1998
    112G1AA210510602
    WINBOND '98
    ASUS has not answered my email. I would like to add a 500G EIDE to my 30G HD, but I do not want to buy it if all I can use is 137G. I know I can buy a new PCI CARD, but I am not certain how to install it. Thank you.

    AS99127F is a sensor chip - what is the motherboard model> Download SIW and look under Hardware > Motherboard.

    Then we can proceed.

    Socket > 370

    Model > CUV4X-C

    I can't be definitive re the max hard drive size as no BIOS details are given. Certainly you require XP SP1 at least .....

    Check out the BIOS for a setting for 48 bit LBA (Large Block Addressing)

    According to this ......
    Your BIOS is 2001, the date of the article is 1995, things have probably moved on from there :)

    However I'm not going to put my head on the block here and say yay or nay - my feeling is nay.

    Look out for some further responses.

    The first and second are both correct. They are from different locations. The original, from Control Panel>System>General was paraphrased. The verbatim is: Intel Pentium III processor. 870MHz, 512MB of RAM.

    The second is from SIW.

    I would edit your specs to read ....
    More helpful than 'x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 10 GenuineIntel ~870 Mhz' which is rather generic :)

    I wouldn't want to go out on a limb & comment on the HD issue... Maybe someone with that same board/BIOS has an idea...
